THE Farm.
Great Growing Force of Plants.

The force exerted by growing plants
is very great. Fungi are composed of
soft issues, yet growing mushroom
has been, known to lift large stone.
The rootlet of pines and cedars growing
on the sides of rocky declivities pene
trate narrow crevices in the rocks and
finally by their growth loosen huge
masses and then send them tumbling
down the cliff. Years ago President
Clark of the Massachusetts, Agricultur-
al College, put pumpkin into harness
and demonstrated that it was capable
of lifting thousands of pounds. In a
cemetery in Hanover a seed germinat
ed in crevice beside tombstone
which contained twenty cubic feet
The seeding, now small tree, has
lifted the stone over five inches. Not
the least wonderful of phenomena of
this class is the force exerted by a
radicle of the terminating plant. Dar-
win has demonstrated that it exerts a
force which, in proportion to its
size, is astonishing. This force the
plantlet utilizes in sending its roots in
to the soil, and the strangest part of
the entire phenomenan is that the lit
tie, soft radicle is capable of penetrat.
ing soil very much harder than itself

Prosecution of Jay Gould.

Milton George, publisher of the
Western Rurdt, proposes to institute
proceedings against Jay Gould, and
the following is part of the indict.
ment against him:
Ten or a dozen years ago it was
announced that Gould's ambition
was to secure transcontinental line
of road. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that he ever entertained such
an ambition, except perhaps during
the time that he had the Erie road in
his clutch; and then it was only for
the general purposes for which he
has always bought roads and bank
rupted them, viz: TO fill his pocket in
an illegal way. Gould cares nothing
and has never cared anything about
having his name connected with a
gigantic railroad system like trans
continental line. He buys roads to
squeeze them, and through them the
public, and for nothing else, and he
does not care cent whether they run
from ocean to ocean, or from Salt
Lake City to PodunlI. His record
proves that. His connection with
the Wabash proves it. In 1879 he
began to buy up the bankrupt Wes.
tern roads that have since been dub
bed with the name of the Wabash
system. He and his syndicate at the
very beginning got hold of l,500
miles of road, purchasing them in
any way hy which control could be
secured, wholly regardless of their
value. In time the system came to
represent about $500 miles of road,
the vast proportion of which-con-
sisting of short lines, badly managed
lines and lines where roads were not
needed-was not earning enough to
pay the intereston the first mortgage
bonds upon which the money was
obtsined to originally construct the
roads. All or most of this property
was purchased at a nominal sum, in
some instances as low as six cents ON
the dollar being paid. There was on

that an inch Of cream, or one pound Of
milk is just as good as another.
To show the difference in the value
of cream, we append the following oil
test that was made ofthe cream, in afac
tory in Iowa. The operator was paying
for cream by the "guage, bulk meas
ure. A close study o! the table below,
will show how some Of the patrons we're
living off their neighbors. We have
the names Of the patrons, but we with
hold them, and simply give the facts by
numbering the parties:
The midland journal., 1887-01-14

That those not familiar with the
meaning of such tables may understand
their significance we give the details
and explanation to two Of them. The
'test per lnch.' shows, the standard
being 100, whether the cream came up
to, or over ran, the standard that
testing 100 would churn out one pound
per "guage" or inch, as will be seen
when No. Is with 81 guages churned
81 lbs. of butter. Then take No. 7
testing $50, in which 69 guages churn-
ed % lbs. This shows that each guage
contains Il lbs of butter Take No 10
test 80 in which 40 guages made onl,
4 lbs. I or of butter, or "guage"
made only about 62100 of a pound of
butter. So that No. 7 per inch or guage
Of cream, was worth, about 10 times
as much as No. 10.
Any man with "half an eye,' can
see that "guage' measure is not half as
good as decent guess work, for the pur-
pose of telling the butter value Of the
cream-nowhere near as good as to
weigh the milk of each patron. Such a
method must retire with great rapidity
before the new and better way of the
oil test churn, which is so simple, and
cheaply operated, that it must soon
march to the front.-Hoard's Dairy
man.

The Oil Test.

There seems to be some misunder-
standing with regard to the real mean.
ing of the coil test" In explanation
of the same we would state that it is
not chemical test but emphatically
a churuing test. Suppose we wish to
get at the butter value Of the milk of a
certain COW, or of each COW in herd
of COWS. To do this by setting the
milk separate, caring for the cream and
churning is cumbersome and expen.
sive method; but by the oil test we can
get at it quickly and easily. We take
a quantity Of milk sufficient to fill
a glass tube certain number of inches
high. The tube is corked and set in
ice water for say y hours, or until the
cream is thoroughly separated. 1t is
then kept at the proper temperature for
say II hours more, or until sufficiently
ripened to make good butter separa-
tien when it is churned in the tube,
milk and all. The tube is then plung-
ed in water heated to $50 degrees,
which sends all the butter oil to the top,
forming perfect separation which can
be measured A scale which has been
figured out is then applied to the prob
lem and determines how many pounds
of butter there would be in 100 pounds
Of such milk. If given quantity of
milk in the tube yields an amount of
butter oil which measures say 10 ac-
cording to small graduated rule which
is applied to it, it will produce two
pounds and thirty eight one hundredths
of butter to 100 pounds of such milk,
according to the figured scale.
The accuracy Of the test, we are free
to confess, is beyond question, for prac-
tical purposes. Col. Burchard of this
city is the inventor Of the scale and rule
which was used at the Minnesota State
Fair, and Cornish, Curtis & Green are
the. inventors of the test churn which is
used in connection with the scale. The
same churn and scale was also used at
the Bay State Fair in Boston, and at
tracted general attention from both
scientific and practical men.
1t is an attempt to arrive at the real
commercial value of milk and cream.
the same as when wheat buyers meas
ure four quarts Of wheat and determine
the weight per bushel and from that
determine what measured bushel is
worth.
Every man knows that the half-bush-
eI is no criterion Of the weight of the
wheat and its commercial value is based
on what it weighs, not what it meas
ures.
So in milk, the weight is no criterion
of the butter value. Neither is the
inch measure in cream a safe criterion
of the number of pounds of butter an
inch will produce. The churn will
finally tell the story, but how is the
buyer of milk or cream to determine
what the churn will finally tell him. If
he buys by guess he must cheat some.
body to come out even or else in the end
cheat himself, and there is no help for
it.
So in cooperative creameries where
the patrons pool their milk by the
pound or their cream by the inch, or
In cheese factories where milk is pool
ed by the pound, the patron who furn-
ishes good rich milk is cheated in or
der that his neighbor who furnishes
poor milk may get the same price.

the shape of first mortgage bonds of
$27,000.000. Gould utterly ignored
this Indebtedness; and proceeded to
mortgage the entire system for sew
enteen millions, calling the bonds he
issued first mortgage bonds. The con-
spirators realized the entire sum,
and pocketed it, Gould getting much
the larger portion. On top of this he
issued 100000 ofpreferr ed stock,
and sold it at about eighty per cent
on the dollar. In the next place he
issued S25, 100000 of preferred stock
and sold this to the public at about
forty-fve per cent on the dollar.
Leaving out Of the consideration the
first $l7,COO,OO0, here is $50,OOO,00O
of watered and worthless stock for
which the people have paid and from
which Gould has gathered in millions
of dollars. 1t is common report too,
that he did business at first precisely
as the notorious swindlers, Flemm-
ing and Merriam, did their business
viz, paying dividends ou, of these
monies that the system might alp'sr
icticiously prosperous and the public
be deceived with reference to its true
condition. In addition to the issues
of bonds and stocks alree dy mention
ed, there were also some ether issues,
the transaction as a whole yielding
Gould and his associate robbe1
about $55,O0O,0OO, every cent of
which, beyond the insignificant cost
Of the roads in the first place, was
clear profit, New York paper put
ting the profit at $47, 100000, not one
do lar of which mas ever paid Gould's
dupes who gave him the money, one
cent of profit, except that which was
lucky enough to share in the swim
ding dividends which were paid a
lew times as before mentioned.
Now here is crime enough if dis
tributed, to send a whole community
to the penitentiary. Men who have
been guilty of less crime are in pris-
on to-day. Yet Jay Gould is free,
and he is free too in the face of the
fact that this is but small
part of his long criminal record.
Gould has never produced one dollar
of his immense fortune. He has ac-
cumu Iated his riches through sys-
TEN of robbery which he is audacious
enough to call enterprise. The prop
erJy that he possesses belongs to
other people. He does not own even
The shirt upon his back, and yet with
this practil al communist levying his
assessments upon our industries, and
upon men, women, widows and or
phans, every day and every hour, the
country is permitting him to 60 un-
whipped of justice while it is de-
manding the execution of seven men
in Chicago who preached what Jay
Gould practices. If there is no law
in the United States to punish this
man government is farce and an
archy is already established. But we
believe there is law enough, and all
that is needed IS for an exhibition of
determination to enforce Now we
propose to the public that we push
this plunderer to the wall aud into
prison dungeon. How many Of the
people will stand by us in inaugural
ing proceedings that shall lead to the
conviction of Jay Gould for his high
handed crimes. We are willing to
enter upon this work if the people
will sustain us; and now let us have

credulity.
There is some speculation as to the

dicott, who has won general respect and
good will in the GrDepartmenc. There
is natural disposition 10 assign him to
the German mission.
As to the railroad commission, it is
believed that Garland will be at its
head; Clark of Massachusetts, form
erly President OF the New En-
gland road, is thought to be sure of q
place: and Herman is likely to be the
New York member. It is hoped that the
President will reserve these appointments
until after the adjournment of Congress,
so that he can appoint Colonel Morrison
The friends of that gentleman say that he
will not accept the place, and that he
flies at higher game.
The appointment of Mr.. Carlisle opens
up the question of the Speakership. II
